The attempt of Lee Roy E. Keeley
to compel an Oregon court to do that
which California courts twice have
refused to do grant him a divorce
met with disaster yesterday when
I'residing- Circuit Judge McCourt
threw the case out and scored the at
torney for an "apparent effort to con
stitute Oregon a clearing house for
marriage troubles."
Stung by the jurist's remarks. Kee
ley rose at their conclusion with an
alacrity In noticeable contrast to hi
earlier movements, which had bee
slow and studied, as though the sick
ftess he claimed had caused him ta
come to Oregon was still upon him,
and took exception to the conclusion
of the court, insisting that it was ill
ness and not a desire to start a di
vorce suit his wife would have no
chance to defend that brought him to
Portland.
His motion to reopen the case that
lie might file an affidavit of prejudic
was denied curtly.
' Divorce Heretofore Denied,
Four divorce suits, including two
cross-complaints, making six appli
cations for separation in all, three o
which cases Keeley said he brought,
were admitted, the first having been
filed in Minnesota, but dismissed: the
second in California in 1916 by Mrs.
Keeley, which, like the one filed by
Keeley in Los Angeles in March, 1918,
was dismissed, after cross-complaint
had been filed making counter
charges. Infidelity was alleged on
koth sides, but in both cases the su
perior court of California refused to
grant relief to the parties.
"The testimony shows that these
parties have been applying to the
courts for relief from marriage ties
over a period of seven or eight years
at frequent intervals." commented
Judge McCourt -when testimony was
concluded. "It appears that two of
these applications were made to the
courts in California, where both par
ties resided before the plaintiff took
up his residence in Oregon. It also
appears that the defendant and the
children still are in Los Angeles.
"Both parties have asked for a di
vorce on all available grounds and
apparently presented their evidence
in full to sustain these grounds. The
California courts have uniformly de
nied both relief. As for the evidence
in this case, it shows that apparently
all grounds that could be alleged were
fully adjudicated in California about
the time the plaintiff came to Port
land.
Vrrnrnt Application Denied.
. "This proceeding is an effort ap
parently to constitute Oregon a clear
Ing house for marriage troubles. The
fact that the case was brought here
suggests some impropriety, for the
reason that children are involved in
this marriage. The plaintiff was es
tablished in business in California
and had resided there for years. This
suggests that his purpose in coming
to. .Oregon was to establish a resi
dence to entitle plaintiff to a divorce,
away from the place where the de
fendant lives, making It more diffi
cult for her to defend and impossible
to adjudicate the rights of the chil
dren. "There has been no evidence of any
act out of which desertion could
arise since adjudication of rights in
California. Further, the complaint is
Insufficient. The court will deny the
application for divorce."
His face scarlet, Keeley sprang
from his seat to declare that he
wished to take exception to the as
sertions of the court.
"The statements jlta not borne out
hy the facts," he insisted, "and the
extraneous remarks reflect on my
record as an attorney. I have been
denied justice!" The attorney's voice
rose to a shout.
Motion to Reopen Cane Dented.
'It is improper and false to say
that I came here with an ulterior mo
tive. It was on a physician's advice,
lie told me I could not live tf I did
not come here. The court has stated
something which is not Incorporated
In the evidence or the facts.
"I desire to move for a reopening
of the case that I may file an affi
davit of prejudice. Will the court
trant this motion?"
"It will not," replied Judge Mc
Court. A truck driver who said he saw
Keeley about once a week on an aver
age since he came to Portland was
the attorney's supporting witness in
the case. The grounds on which the
action was based was desertion.
Throughout the hearing Keeley acted
as his own attorney. His first state
ment of the case did not mention
prior divorce troubles. Under cross-
examination by Earl Bernard, deputy
district attorney, Keeley admitted
that it was the fourth suit between
himself and present wife.
The two children are 11 and 13
years old and were awarded to the
mother, who is living in Los Angeles,
by a California court. Keeley testi
fied that he took up his legal resi
dence in Portland November 21, 1918.
When he had finished his testimony
Deputy District Attorney Bernard in
terposed an objection of the district
attorney's office to the granting of a
decree in the case, saying that no de
sertion had been shown by the testi
mony since the adjudication in Call
fornia.

Sale started yesterday with 300 chests.
As almost every household needs one or
more cedar chests we cannot tell how long
the opportunity will last.
Cedar chests generally have greatly increased in
price. Wholesale costs went up so high that we
sought for a way somehow to protect our public and
finally heard of a factory agent who had a surplus.
This agent has an arrangement by which he takes
over the entire output of a cedar chest factory. Be
cause his Autumn consignment of chests arrived
three months late the agent could not sell them be
fore Christmas as he had expected.
MEIER & FRANK'S came to the rescue,
took every chest he had on hand, and as
a result can sell them at a full third less
than the current market prices.
Sizes 18x17x38 inches to 22x21x54 inches. All
solidly built and beautifully finished. Many with
orna'mental copper.bands. Quite a number have trays.
There is nothing like a cedar chest for storing
away furs, blankets and woolen garments because
the cedar perfume scares away moths.
